A phone call from President Donald Trump to his Emirati counterpart, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, last November inadvertently sparked a major feud between two powerful U.S. allies in the Middle East, according to a report.
Trump had just hosted Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, the kingdom’s de facto political leader, in Washington, D.C., during which he had said in a speech: “His Majesty would like me to do something very powerful having to do with Sudan. We’re going to start working on it.”
